stop in the middle of Costigan with a
remark applied to readers of Thomas a
Kempis and others, which Is, think, that
cushion-thumpers and High aud Low
Church extatics, have often carried what
they call their love for = to what seems
impertinence to me. How good my
has been to me in sending me q back
ache,-how good in taking it away,
how blessed the spiritual gift which en-
abled me to receive the sermon this
morniDg-how trying my dryness at this
afternoons discourse, etc. l say il is
awful and blasPhemous to be calling
upon heaven to interfere about the thous-
and trivialties of a mans life, that -
has ordered me something indigestible
for dinner (Which may account for my
drynesS in the afternoons discourse);
to say that it is Providence that sends a
oranght OF air upon me which gives me
cold in the head, or superintends person
ally the action of James powder which
makes me well. Bow down, confess,
adore, admire, and reverence infiditely.
Make your act OF faith and trust. Ac.
knowledge with constant awe the idea of
the infinite preseDc &c over all. But what
lmpudence ii is in US, to talk about loving
God enough, if may so speak. Wretched
little bindings, what do we know about
the human affections rs disrespectful to
God? The liars the wretched canting
fakirs of Christianism, the convent and
conventicle dervishes,-they are only less
unreasonable now than the Eremites and
holy women who whipped and starved
themselves, never washed, and ENCOURAGED
vermin for the glory of God. Washing is
allowed now, and bodily filth and pain not
always enJoined; but still they say shut
your ears and don't hear music, close your
eyes and don't see nature and beauty, steel
your hearts and be ashamed of your love
for your neighbor; and timid fond
souls scared by their curses, and bending
before their amending arrogance and dull
ness, consent to be miserable, and bare
their soft shoulders for the brutes' stripes
according TO The nature OF women. You
dear Suttees, you get ready and glorify in
being martyriZed. Nature. truth, love,
protest day after day in your tender hearts
against the stupid, remorseless tyranny
ture, what a history that is in the Thomas
a Kempls book. The scheme of that
book carried out would make the
world the most wresched, useless, dreary
dOtiDg place of s0journ--there would be
no manhood, 10 love, no tender ties of
mother and child, no use of intellect no
trade or science, set of selfish beings
crawling about avoiding one another and
bowling perpetual miserere. We know
that deductions like this have been drawn
from the teaching of J. c., but please
God the world is preparing to throw them
over, and l won't believe them though
they are written in ever so many books, any
more than that the sky is green or the grass
red. Those brutes made the grass red
many time, fancying they were acting
rightly, amongst others with the blood Of
the person who was born today. Good bye
my dear lady and my dear old William.

TAUGHT LINCOLN TO READ.
Sketch of the Aged Dennis Hanks, of ILL.,
nnia.


nois.
A dispatch from Charleston, ILL.,, to the
st. Louis Globe-Democrat, says: Probably
the Oldest and most distinguished man in
this county to-day is Dennis +. Hanks
who has for the past five years been in
Paris, Edgar county, but recently returned
to Coles. Mr.. Hanks was born in 1899, and
is therefore Lightweight years OF age. He
is full cousin 10 Nancy Hanks, known in
history as the mother Of our lamented,
martyred President Lincoln, and is the
only living witness of the ceremony which
bound together Thomas Lincoln and Nancy
Hanks in the bonds of matrimony. The
old gentleman is very weak this spring,
and looks as if it would only be a few
days until he will cross over the river to
his reward. After Lincoln's election to the
presidency in 1850, Mr.. Hanks, with the old
log cabin made by Lincoln in Macon co lnty,
travelled over the country by rsil ex-
hibiting it, and himself as the man who
taught Lincoln 10 read. He has adapted
himself to more recent changes of costume
and substituted an old slouch-hat for the
high stoyepipe he formerly wore. But he
is always seen with his hat on, a custom
held from youth up. Mr.. Hanks has ex-
cellent conversational powers, and will sit
for hours telling of the good traits of Mr..
Lincoln. During the war number OF per-
sons well known 10 Mr.. Hanks were ar
rested by United States officers for treason
and taken to Fortress Monroe to await trial.
Mr.. Hanks was opportuned to go 30 Lin
coin and lntercede in their behalf. Land
ing in Washington City, guard at the
white house refused him admittance.
This exasperAted the old gentleman, who,
addressing the guard, said: "You tell Mr..
Lincoln old Dennis Hanks wishes to speak
to himP' Lincoln, who happened to be
near, overheard the conversation, and,
recognizing Hanks voice, opened the white
house door and gave HIM royal welcome.
1t is needless to add Mr.. Hanks secured the
release of the prisoners.

"Some of our Vermont brethren" says
the Congregstionalist, "have published a
little pamphlet with two tremendously
suggestive appeals to the eye. One is a
church map of the State, so marked and
colored as to be eloquent IN its facts. 1t is
found that about sixty-nine churches have
died out altogether In that State or been
united 10 others. 1t is found that the
membership of Congregational churches
there has diminished by about 8, 600 in the
last fifty years. 1t is found that of those
residents who live two miles or more from
a church but about one-third ever attend it.
1t is believed that of an entire population
of 332, 2S6 from 100000 to 10000, besides
invalids and little children, never hear the
gospel"

The New idea of God.

canon Fremantle in Popular Science Monthly
for June.
Instead of asserting a priori, or taking
ready-made from the scriptures abstract
statements, such as those alluded to above,
theologians must accept as their task the
attempt to give a true account of the
totality of things which is also a unity inn
PEELED by single power or energy. They
will show the traces of order, mind and
purpose which the world presents,
and will cautiously draw from the
process of human life as that which
is highest In the moral scale
their inferences as to the nature of the Sd
preme Power. They will not merely be
careful not to contravene the laws OF ma
ture, but will consider essential q knowl-
edge of them as manifestations OF the sa-
preme will, to which men must reverently
submit themselves. They will not spend
time in questions which admit OF no solu-
ton, such as the eternity of matter or the
origin OF the world, or the possibilities Of
other spheres OF life than those known to
us by experience. They will trace the d.
vine as working through nature and man;
or, If they endeavor to think of a tran
scendental God, they will take care not to
represent him as demiurge standing out

MR.. O'BRIEN IN CANADA.
He is Met by An Immense ConcOurse of
People at Montreal.

MONTREAL, May 26.-When the train
bearing EDITOR 0'Drien steamed into
Bonaventura Station tonight there was in
waiting an immense concourse of people,
who took the horse from the carriage oc-
cupied by O'Brien amid singing "God save
Ireland" The carriage was drawn to the
st. Lawrence Hall, from the balcony OF
which 0'Brien made a speech.
1--WE have" said he, ''since we saw you
last, tIaversed the Dominion of Canada
from one end to the other without asking
any body's leave Immense cheerinel, even
in Toronto loud groaningl, where they
refused Us a hall.
Tonight we return to this good old city
of Montreal to tell you that our mission,
through the blessing of Divine Providence,
and through the generous sympathy OF
the Canadian people, has succeeded far be-
yond our widest anticipation.
Loud applause have accom-
plished my task in spite of discoLr-
agement and danger, and every fair
minded man now believes 1 took the only
proper means to nut an end to the murder

Lansdowne. Loud cheersl. Lansdowne,
Tgrosnsl may bask for a while in the
praises of men who tried to stihe cur
voices in our blood. [Groansl. He made a
speech at Toronto the other night
in which he did not seem for
a moment to be alive to the fact
that attempt after attempt had been msde
upon our lives in his interest [groans for
Lansdowne] and that the grossest outrages
bad been perpetrated upon the liberty OF
speech in Canads. A voice, Down with
him !" and grosns He treated these at
tempts at murder and that attempt
at the suppression of free speech
as matters of jocosity and levity. But he
can not cloak his misdeeds any longer. He
is now known, and to say he is known is
the heaviest sentence of condemnation
that could be pronounced against him."

Napoleon,a Mistake.

There Is no use denying 1.-THE great
mass of the French people were at least as
despotically governed in the days of the
Convention and the Terror and Directory
rs in those of the Consulate and the EN-
pire. But the Convention and the Terror
and the Directory had, in spite Of all ex-
cesses, gained enormous practical benefits,
initiated sweeping and imperatively
needed reforms, for the French
people: and not one of these was ever lost
sight of by Napoleon. 1t was the introduce
ton of these reforms and benefits into the
constitutions and governments of the
counties composing the Empire that
